Spanish TV Recommendation and HUGE poster!

I got some exciting news today.

LOS INDESEABLES, (the Spanish version of DEVIANTS), was featured on the most important cultural review show in Spain, página 2.

And, a HUGE image of the cover is displayed along the river in Bilbao, with the Guggenheim museum in the background. At first I assumed it was FX, but I'm told the book covers are actually there. (Unless I'm having translation issues in my e-mails with my Spanish editor.)

Here's a snapshot taken from the TV show.




And here is the actual program. Go to approximately minute 20:50.


After my book, the presenter talks about the YA Film WARM BODIES.

This is very cool. Excited...

Compliance Cover Reveal!!

I'm happy to reveal the cover for COMPLIANCE coming out June 4, 2013.

I'll be running a contest next week to celebrate, and have some news about signings and events, so check back!


I think the cover captures the idea of the book really well. And I think the red on navy color scheme is very "now".  At least I keep seeing the color scheme everywhere.

Pre-order Compliance here:




And here is the cover for the Spanish version of DEVIANTS, aka LOS INDESEABLES.




I have to say, I kind of love this cover. The back is cool too. 


You can order the Spanish version here: (sorry, I don't know any other Spanish retailers)

SCAVENGER HUNT POST


I'm pleased to be hosting, Tara Fuller!

Tara Fuller writes novels. Some about grim reapers​. Some about witches. All of course are delightfully full of teen angst and kissing. Tara grew up in a one stop light town in Oklahoma where once upon a time she stayed up with a flash light reading RL Stine novels and only dreamed of becoming a writer. She has a slight obsession with music and a shameless addiction for zombie fiction, Mystery Science Theater, and black and white mochas. Tara no longer lives in a one stop light town. Now she lives with her family in a slightly larger town in North  Carolina where they have at least three stoplights.

Find out more information about Tara by checking out her website or find more about her latest book BLURRED here!

"Cash is haunted by things. Hungry, hollow things. They only leave him alone when Heaven’s beautiful reaper, Anaya, is around. Cash has always been good with girls, but Anaya isn’t like the others. She’s dead. And with his deteriorating health, Cash might soon be as well.

Anaya never breaks the rules, but the night of the fire, she recognized part of Cash’s soul—and doomed him to something worse than death. Cash’s soul now resides in an expired body, making him a shadow walker, a rare, coveted being that can walk between worlds. A being creatures of the underworld would do anything to get their hands on.

The lines between life and death are blurring, and Anaya and Cash find themselves falling helplessly over the edge. Trapped in a world where the living don’t belong, can Cash make it out alive?"



EXCLUSIVE CONTENT

You lucky hunters get a sneak peek at the prologue from Tara's upcoming release, BLURRED (Kissed by Death #2)!

The exclusive content is no longer available, but check out and pre-order Tara's book BLURRED here.  

DON'T FORGET TO ENTER!

Don't forget to enter the contest for a chance to win a ton of signed books by me, Tara Fuller, and more!
